A33967	The improvableness of water-baptism, or, A discourse concerning the gravity and seriousness of the action and the usefulness of the sacred institution of baptism instructing all parents how great a thing they do when they bring their children to that holy ordinance, and all persons, whether young or old, what obligations their baptism hath brought them under, what wrath it hath exposed wicked and impenitent persons to, and what use they may make of their baptism for confirmation of their faith, and quickening them to repentance and an holy life : discoursed from Rom. 6:3,4, by way of sermon / by John Collinges ...	Collinges, John, 1623-1690.	1681 (1681)	Wing C5321; ESTC R5112	38,449	47

of_o this_o we_o may_v say_v these_o be_v the_o lord_n sacrament_n that_o you_o may_v believe_v what_o the_o scripture_n tell_v you_o that_o the_o sin_n of_o soul_n be_v only_o wash_v out_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n here_o signify_v and_o represent_v and_o that_o if_o ever_o you_o will_v be_v save_v you_o must_v as_o you_o submit_v to_o this_o ordinance_n so_o also_o submit_v to_o the_o acceptance_n of_o he_o and_o his_o righteousness_n and_o look_v for_o salvation_n from_o he_o and_o no_o other_o and_o that_o you_o may_v believe_v the_o gospel_n be_v not_o a_o romance_n but_o a_o true_a history_n of_o what_o he_o who_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v in_o die_v for_o your_o sin_n that_o you_o may_v not_o die_v eternal_o and_o that_o when_o our_o own_o unbelieving_a heart_n be_v overwhelm_v in_o the_o thought_n of_o these_o thing_n and_o say_v sure_o such_o a_o thing_n can_v not_o be_v the_o mercy_n be_v too_o big_a for_o the_o grasp_n of_o our_o reason_n and_o comprehension_n we_o may_v help_v ourselves_o by_o reflect_v on_o our_o baptism_n and_o our_o frequent_a communicate_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o chide_v down_o those_o rise_n of_o unbelief_n say_v if_o this_o be_v not_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o sprinkle_v person_n with_o water_n in_o baptism_n or_o our_o so_o often_o meet_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n to_o eat_v bread_n and_o drink_n wine_n signify_v the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o to_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v save_v and_o justify_v the_o object_n of_o which_o be_v the_o person_n of_o the_o

we_o to_o help_v our_o soul_n in_o their_o exercise_n of_o faith_n the_o soul_n as_o it_o be_v here_o reach_v its_o hand_n to_o put_v into_o the_o hole_n of_o christ_n side_n and_o its_o finger_n to_o

and_o unbelief_n still_o and_o we_o be_v very_o unholy_a still_o we_o find_v no_o such_o fruit_n of_o our_o baptism_n i_o answer_v 1._o possible_o you_o have_v not_o stir_v up_o your_o baptismal-grace_n i_o remember_v st._n paul_n call_v to_o timothy_n to_o stir_v up_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o he_o and_o 1_o tim._n 4._o 14._o not_o to_o neglect_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o be_v in_o he_o by_o prophecy_n with_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o presbytery_n i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o any_o saving-gift_n be_v give_v to_o any_o by_o baptism_n more_o than_o there_o be_v to_o a_o minister_n by_o set_v he_o apart_o to_o the_o ministry_n but_o there_o be_v doubtless_o a_o gift_n give_v the_o baptise_a person_n conducive_a to_o his_o salvation_n if_o he_o will_v make_v a_o due_a and_o just_a improvement_n of_o it_o he_o have_v a_o new_a character_n put_v upon_o he_o and_o be_v by_o it_o take_v out_o of_o the_o pagan_a world_n he_o have_v a_o new_a vow_n upon_o he_o he_o have_v a_o new_a dedication_n now_o if_o man_n and_o woman_n will_v never_o serious_o consider_v and_o think_v on_o this_o never_o revive_v the_o memory_n of_o it_o or_o whet_v it_o upon_o their_o soul_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n to_o hear_v they_o complain_v that_o they_o find_v no_o benefit_n fruit_n or_o advantage_n by_o it_o a_o scholar_n may_v be_v at_o a_o loss_n about_o a_o notion_n or_o question_n in_o which_o twenty_o book_n he_o have_v in_o his_o study_n will_v resolve_v he_o but_o if_o he_o know_v not_o how_o to_o use_v his_o book_n to_o that_o end_n or_o will_v never_o take_v down_o a_o book_n to_o look_v for_o any_o help_n from_o it_o he_o may_v complain_v that_o none_o of_o all_o the_o book_n in_o his_o study_n will_v do_v he_o good_a in_o the_o case_n the_o question_n be_v what_o they_o will_v do_v if_o he_o look_v into_o they_o or_o know_v how_o to_o use_v they_o object_n 2._o but_o will_v some_o say_v how_o many_o baptize_v person_n be_v there_o to_o who_o their_o baptism_n be_v no_o help_n nor_o advantage_n they_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v unbelieving_a unholy_a profane_a person_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v with_o cyprian_a to_o take_v upon_o we_o christ_n name_n cypr._n christi_fw-la nomen_fw-la endure_v &_o non_fw-la per_fw-la christi_fw-la viam_fw-la pergere_fw-la quid_fw-la aliud_fw-la est_fw-la quam_fw-la praevaricatio_fw-la divini_fw-la nominis_fw-la cypr._n and_o not_o to_o walk_v in_o his_o way_n be_v but_o to_o profane_v and_o abuse_v his_o most_o holy_a name_n the_o soldier_n take_v press-money_n or_o be_v list_v help_v he_o if_o he_o run_v from_o his_o colour_n very_o little_a unless_o it_o be_v to_o a_o shameful_a end_n of_o his_o life_n but_o if_o he_o keep_v he_o to_o his_o colour_n it_o help_v he_o to_o his_o pay_n and_o to_o his_o reward_n according_a to_o his_o service_n a_o man_n may_v have_v in_o his_o yard_n several_a piece_n of_o timber_n which_o do_v he_o no_o service_n at_o all_o he_o may_v have_v great_a heap_n of_o stone_n that_o do_v he_o no_o good_a but_o only_o annoy_v and_o trouble_v his_o yard_n but_o if_o this_o man_n begin_v to_o build_v than_o they_o help_v he_o every_o stone_n every_o foot_n of_o timber_n be_v useful_a to_o he_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o our_o baptism_n it_o lie_v by_o we_o of_o little_a use_n till_o we_o begin_v the_o spiritual_a build_n it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o timber_n a_o stone_n cut_v out_o and_o square_v for_o that_o when_o a_o man_n begin_v this_o work_n than_o his_o baptism_n help_v in_o short_a the_o water_n of_o baptism_n be_v much_o like_o the_o water_n of_o jealousy_n of_o which_o you_o read_v numb_a 5._o 27._o if_o the_o defile_a woman_n adventure_v to_o drink_v of_o it_o it_o become_v bitter_a and_o make_v her_o belly_n to_o swell_v and_o her_o thigh_n to_o rot_v and_o the_o woman_n to_o be_v a_o curse_n among_o her_o people_n but_o if_o she_o be_v clean_o it_o make_v her_o fruitful_a so_o do_v the_o water_n of_o baptism_n in_o a_o more_o spiritual_a sense_n if_o the_o baptize_v person_n after_o it_o live_v a_o unbelieving_a unholy_a life_n it_o cause_v a_o rot_n in_o he_o and_o become_v a_o curse_n to_o he_o but_o if_o a_o person_n adher_v to_o the_o faith_n and_o live_v a_o holy_a life_n in_o conformity_n to_o his_o baptismal-dedication_n and_o vow_n and_o make_v use_v of_o his_o baptism_n it_o make_v he_o fruitful_a and_o help_v he_o in_o every_o good_a work_n 4._o the_o last_o thing_n wherein_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o the_o usefulness_n of_o this_o sacred_a institution_n be_v with_o reference_n to_o its_o confirm_v seal_v to_o and_o assure_v of_o the_o soul_n 1._o it_o seal_v to_o we_o assure_v we_o of_o and_o confirm_v to_o we_o the_o truth_n seal_v baptism_n be_v useful_a to_o assure_v confirm_v and_o seal_v of_o the_o great_a proposition_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o this_o rite_n be_v use_v in_o the_o apostolical_a church_n that_o it_o have_v be_v use_v ever_o since_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v out_o of_o doubt_n now_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o what_o do_v it_o signify_v but_o that_o christ_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n
